Blake,
Well, you can tell your boss that Windows NT does not have the
enterprise support that UNIX based servers do. When I say enterprise
level, I mean it's ability to handle several thousand user
simultaneously. Depending on the hardware, you can probably create an
enterprise level setup with NT. However, with the reliability and
proven track record of UNIX, why go with NT?
Microsoft even admits that NT is not an enterprise level OS, so it even
comes straight from the horses mouth! They still don't have a viable OS
that competes with UNIX in a real way.
Tell your boss one thing: if he wants dependability and performance,
nothing comes close to enterprise level systems (like Sun E-series
systems) running UNIX. Windows NT is nice, but for enterprise level
systems, he would be getting himself into something he will regret
later.
